Well, today after work I mounted a camera to the oldest helmet I had and took a cruise up to the hills of Milpitas. Here's a couple of videos of my new bike climbing some steep hills.

Thanks Fairracing. I made one mistake on this ride. I forgot to bring my tools. I'm not sure if you noticed at the end of the second video my bike got louder because the end piece of my muffler came loose. I couldn't believe how many cars were on the road today!

Dang! You must have a lot of faith in your brakes

Can you post a link to pics of your set up?

Thanks!

The brakes work pretty good. I only have a mechanical disc brake on the front and v brakes on the back. Here's the link to my bicycle:

I'd thought I'd post pictures of how I took the video.
My helmet cam: I used my oldest helmet and mounted (with screws) An L bracket with my Canon digital camera attached to it.

Thanks Uncle.
Yes it has the 5.8 motor and a 47 tooth sprocket. This motor revs a little higher than a china motor.

listening to it on that video made me want to shift in to second :-)

have you tried the 3HP Morini on hills like that? wonder how it would handle it?

Thats what you call a polish virtual reality helmet EZR! Just kidding. Those are some of most impressive minimoto videos I have seen lately. No joke. That engine SCREAMS. My china engines days are limited now. That morinI sounds too nice. I have ridden that road and I had to walk/pedal up some of it and generally chugged up the rest.
